So I want to add IPTV to my entertainment menu. (If you have good provider or app recommendations, DM me). But I want to run it through VPN.

What I'm thinking of doing is getting an inexpensive, second android box to use to watch IPTV. Then set up a VPN tunnel on my router and send all traffic from that device through the VPN.

That ensures I won't disrupt any existing streaming services with VPN, and I won't have to remember to fire up the VPN before watching IPTV (more importantly, I'm sure my kid won't remember). Thoughts?

Why do you want to run IPTV through vpn? What country are you in?

The only thing you need a VPN for is possibly torrents, even then private trackers exist for a reason. They ain't coming after you for IPTV unless you're selling boxes to people.

ISPs don’t usually care about iptv streaming, it’s uploading that gets you in trouble. Unfortunately I don’t have much advice for providers as most are garbage unfortunately.
